First, a big thanks - Avast really cleaned my system!
I have found that the Avast (Home) program connects to the internet many, many times a day to update its definitions. Is there a way to reduce this to, say, twice a week?
Thanks,
Ray

No, Avast checks on Windows start up and every four hours. You can turn the automatic update off and manually check a couple times a week though. There is also an idea by Technical that will probably work for you:
